I'm just going to split the difference and call him Willy.

Hugh Freaking Dillon

he did this once before, wanting everyone to call him William. Then he went back to Billy. He just wants attention.

It's pretty funny stuff. You can tell by Corgan's tone of voice in these interviews that he enjoys trolling fans and knows how they'll react when he says this stuff. He's like a pro wrestling heel.

I called him BillCo, now I will call him WillCo.

Last I checked, there was a guy in 97-98 who wanted to go by the name of Ed instead of Eddie.

Yeah, and I remember reading about it on the web, and seeing him talk about it on TV, and reading the interview in Rolling Stone.

Oh, wait...

You have a point. I think he likes mocking his "fans".
But if you listen to this interview, he doesnt comes off as such a douche at all.

Nice one, Billy-Boy.

The Official SP page still refers to him as Billy. Confusing... :?

Hmm... Munster?

Despite his later year douchebaggery, I will always remember him as the creator of some of the greatest rock albums of the 90's. I recently bought the deluxe version of Siamese Dream and it includes a concert dvd that was filmed during the promotion of the album. I would kill to have been at that show.

Best post of the thread!

It's about time we start referring to the new smashing pumpkins by their proper name: William Corgan and those 3 other people who weren't in smashing pumpkins at all.
